Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VUEScope at none against RigMaster's 3. VUEScope also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). RigMaster's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
